http://ubuntuforums.org – Hey, so i have linux 10 and 11, both on the same HDD, but partitioned twice. I wanted to get rid of 11, so i installed win xp on it instead of 11 but i could not connect to any Internet at all. The wifi didnt work, so i plugged in the modem, but it still didnt connect. It seems as win xp couldn't recognize it at all. The laptop is an acer aspire 3680. Im not sure, but is it because of the software modem option in "additional drivers" I activate it in ubuntu 10, so maybe thats why it didnt work in win xp? not sure, but can someone help me out? thanks (Hardware)

I haven't had a problem with this yet, but today I was online via my wifi connection and then the network center said there was no connection. My modem said I had full bars, and I tried restarting both the modem and the laptop, but nothing. The internet works if I plug in the ethernet cable, but will not pick up the wifi signal.

HI,

This happens often for my ubuntu 12.04.

I'm using ubuntu on my laptop and connect to internet via wifi.

Sometimes even though the connection is established with the modem I'm unable to connect to the internet.

at that times I'm also unable to connect to 192.168.1.1, which should give me the page to my modem even if there is no internet connection to the modem.

Hi,

I have a Huwawei 3G Broadband modem which I use to connect to internet. Yesterday I updated my ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10. I can successfully connect to internet using ubuntu and my 3g modem.

Problem 1 --------- My problem is my 3G modem keeps switching from 2G (GPRS) and 3G(WCDMA) networks. On Windows my modem has a option to connect only using WCDMA.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 and a 4G mobile broadband-modem called, ZTE mf880 ltf usb modem. Every time I loose internet-connection, Ubuntu seem to "loose track" of the modem and I have to pull it out and put it back in again, only to wait for Ubuntu to detect it again.

I have this ZTE MF626 3G modem, which works flawessly on my netbook. However, yesterday I installed Karmic on a Thinkpad T40, and the same modem doesnt get recognized when I plug it. I know the modem is ok, because I plugged it back on my netbook and worked ok. Also (this may be related) I was unable to install from a -usb stick, it froze in the middle of the install.

Hi,I just bought a usb modem ZTE MF195, and I am using Aero2 network (Poland).After googling, I found out how to setup this modem to work on Arch, but it only works with wvdial and it doesn't connect with NetworkManager.My config /etc/wvdial.conf:[Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 Init1 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","darmowy" Phone = *99# Carrier Check = yes Stupid mode = yes Us

Okay, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04.

I bought a USB Extarnal Modem. Whice is controller based, I think thats a hard ware modem correct me if i'm wrong.

Right now I'm on windows and it shows the manufacturer is "Conexant" The thing is...how would I be able to use this in ubuntu. As I know winmodems does not work with linux.

I have an Acer Aspire 4736Z running Ubuntu 9.10 dual boot with Windows XP (for work). Ubuntu recongnizes the modem but it won't connect. I've searched the Linux forums for help but most are too technical for me. I've been using Ubuntu for about 3 years now, but haven't really gotten into scripting and making changes to configuration files.

I have purchased new vodafone usb modem (ZTE K3770-z) and tried to connect it with ubuntu 11.04. But it is not automatically detected on ubuntu.
